خلاصة:
In the center of the historical city of Bastam, there exists a treasure of the culture and civilization of the land of Iran, including: mosques, minarets, domes, and iwans, which are manifestations of the culture and history of Iran. By analyzing and examining them, the cultural and historical identity of the city can be explained. The celestial shrine of Mohammad bin Ja'far (peace be upon him), the immediate son of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him), and the tomb of Bayazid Bastami, the famous mystic of the second and third centuries, in this historical complex, have always been the focus of attention and the attraction of pilgrims and residents. Rulers of different eras and various artists, especially during the Ilkhanid period, were able to create magnificent artistic and architectural works. Now this complex is a symbol of the city of Bastam, and since ancient times, charitable and good-doing individuals from every group have, according to the requirements of the time, endowed precious objects and materials to the aforementioned complex. This article attempts, by referring to written historical sources and inscriptions, to introduce and examine five cases of them in the Mongol Ilkhanid era.
